Michaela Kiersch on The Golden Ticket 5.14c/8c+
In this week's Friday Night Video, we jump back to November 2016 when Michaela Kiersch became the first woman to climb The Golden Ticket, a testpiece 5.14c/8c+ in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. Michaela's success revolved around sticking a wild dyno that most taller climbers don't have to use. After the dyno comes the typical "crux" of the route, a v10 boulder problem. This short film documents Michaela's impressive achievement and the journey it took to pull it off.
